The decision to replace the RAF's C-130J Hercules aircraft with the Atlas C.1 A400M will result in an initial capability gap, the incoming Chief of the Air Staff has said.

Air Marshal Sir Richard Knighton, the designated Chief of the Air Staff, has said that plans to replace the Hercules aircraft would leave a temporary capability hole for Special Forces operations.

The C-130J Hercules has been in service for the British Armed Forces since 1999 and is due to be retired at the end of June.
